    Brought machine home, won't start

    Welcome to the sight, sorry it isn't under better circumstances. Someone should be along shortly with some suggestions, do you have the manual have you looked for a manual on-line? Most machines have a test button that will run through checking things but I'm not familiar with that type of...

    FS PDI Glass - 4th Quarter order

    Hey Jimmy I ordered 2 sheets but I would be glad to get one of them to you as I really could use the extra cash right now. I'm sure we can work out the delivery / pickup details.

    Gottlieb vs Bally Drop Targets

    Thanks, Mata Hari behaves exactly as I remember playing it in the late 70's; sometimes after what I thought was the perfect shot, the targets is still standing there mocking me. In a way that is part of the fun, but on the other hand JP seems to be a much 'fairer' game in that I get rewarded...

    Gottlieb vs Bally Drop Targets

    I decided to turn on my 4 games and move from game to game after each ball just to see what it was like. While doing this I noticed that on Joker Poker if I just brush the drop targets they go down, but on my Bally's (Powerplay, Playboy, Mata Hari) it's possible to hammer the targets and...

I stumbled across a product called Nevr-Dull which can do a really nice job. My Bobby Orr backglass is in pretty good shape but the metal lift bar at the bottom was...

    The Simpsons: In The Garden of Eden (Baby)

    I've always been a huge music fan so I decided to take a mooc (massive online open course) on the history of rock. It's free and available here if anyone is interested: https://www.coursera.org/learn/history-of-rock I rarely watch The Simpsons but in the course there was talk of Iron...

    Pinball Seasons

    I've only been doing this for a year but it seems logical that once we get into the winter there will be less machines switching hands simply because of the weather. In addition everyone has a different definition of what a 'good title' is. Mine is most machines built between 1976 and 1980 :)

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    After a year I realized the biggest thing I should be doing with my machines much more often than I have been. Keeping them clean. I cleaned the glass on Bobby Orr and then wiped down the playfield, getting a fair bit of dust and dirt with very little effort. My wax has arrived so I'll give...
